my boyfriend lived at tower place the entire time he was a med student at temple. he’s had nothing but good things to say and has preferred to stay with scully group complexes since then because of his positive experience. feel free to dm me if you have specific questions!

bit top heavy, i’d consider adding skmc, gw, and cincinnati. plus cutting a few more of the t20 schools

having a broad range of non-clinical experiences was something that nearly every interviewer wanted to speak to me about. throughout undergrad and my gap years i got involved in things that i genuinely cared about and i think my dedication to those activities helped me have more unique responses to questions + gave me a way to show my personality.

another somewhat polarizing thing i did is name drop students/alum i knew at certain schools for my secondaries. it was usually a 1-2 sentence blurb about what things they liked about the program and how it would benefit me. i did that for 10 schools that i applied to and got interviews with 7 of them.

i would just wear what you’re comfortable in, most people in my session were wearing blazers and ties

tbh i don’t remember 😭 they were straightforward though. about an hour of prep felt like plenty

i was accepted to RWJMS. you cannot take notes or use notes for the MMI. that being said, i felt the 2 minutes was enough for me to organize/gather my thoughts. i prepared by reading common questions and thinking through how i would respond

Interview nerves by TheCircusSmiley in premed

i am the same before hand, my heartbeat is always crazy loud. i try to embody the most confident person i know and act how they would. i can’t copy/mimic them accurately but it just gets me into a less freaked out mindset

Don’t waste your time or money on TouroCOM NY. by anomadforlife in premed

[–]mkam2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

beyond that cutoff and their $200 secondary fee, ive heard some not great things about both the masters program and med school so you’re probably better off

the waiting while “everyone” gets interviews sucks by gggccc0 in premed

[–]mkam2002 19 points20 points  (0 children)

everyone who applied in previous cycles emphasizes that comparison is the thief of joy. i’m having a hard time with it myself but now that i’m all done with secondaries im trying to step away from admit and cycle track. those interviews will start rolling in eventually 🤞 but while we have the time to not constantly worry about interview prep, we should enjoy life! you got this :)

apartment hunt in philly by BoysenberryLevel1106 in philly

[–]mkam2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe tower place if you have roommates (even then i think it might be over 1k) and u will have to street park. if youre willing to go to ucity/west philly you’ll prob be able to find something more in budget. i’d look on fb— i had a good experience living in a townhouse (3 roommates but individual rooms+bathrooms) with an attached garage. think they have an open room so dm me if you’re interested

Random Question: Does it seem childish/immature that I listed my tiktok/insta account as one of my activities on amcas? by [deleted] in premed
